Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to a currently unknown album of Jan Rejchart of Štampach dating from the years 1589-1610 and containing primarily records from two important travels in which Štampach participated as a member of diplomatic delegations: to Constantinople in the years 1591/1592 (in the delegation of Friedrich von Krekwitz) and to Moscow (in that of Mikuláš Varkoč). Further records show first of all Štampach´s travel unknown up to now to the Imperial Diet in Regensburg in the year 1594 and his short journey at the university in Altdorf and in the imperial city of Nuremberg at the turn of the years 1598/1599, revealing in this way contacts and fortunes of this less known nobleman.
